NY Nole Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 So here is a look at Gailey's Head Coaching records at Georgia Tech, Dallas and Samford. Georgia Tech (2002-2007) Gailey's Record: 44wins, 32 losses (avg/season 7 wins, 5 losses) 5 years prior to Gailey (1997-2001): GT was 41 wins, 18 losses (avg/season 8 wins, 4 losses) 2 years since Gailey (2008-2009): GT was 20 wins, 7 losses (avg/season 10 wins, 3 losses) Dallas Cowboys (1998-1999) Gailey's record: 18 wins, 14 losses (avg/season 9 wins, 7 losses) 5 years prior to Gailey (1993-1998): 52 wins, 28 losses (avg/season 10 wins, 6 losses) 10 years since Gailey (2000-present): 83 wins, 78 losses (avg/season 8 wins, 8 losses) Samford Bulldogs (1993) Gailey's record: 5-6 5 years prior to Gailey (1988-1992): 37 wins, 21 losses, 1 tie (avg/season 7 wins, 4 losses) 5 years after Gailey (1994-1998): 30 wins, 24 losses, 1 tie (avg/season 6 wins, 5 losses) In every case, the team Gailey coached was better before he got there and better after he left (you could argue the Cowboys are better now than when he left -- as there was the Campo mess in between). I hate this move. What do Nix/Ralph/Skippy Brandon see in this guy???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Turk Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Next up, Guy gets an extension. Then Nix holds a press conference to let us know all the scouts have been released so the Bills can focus on video scouting... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NY Nole Posted January 19, 2010 Author Share Posted January 19, 2010 terrible use of statistics. just terrible. Since a head coach is judged by their W-L record, why is this terrible? I think his numbers speak volumes, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharper802 Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Not to be a cynic but couldn't we have gotten Frazier as HC and Gailey as OC... This would have solved both the OC and DC problems.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDS Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Since a head coach is judged by their W-L record, why is this terrible? I think his numbers speak volumes, no? I think comparing the record of the Cowboys coming off of 3 Super Bowl wins with the years they were in decline is about as asinine as it gets. Statistics without context is a giant pile of worthless ****. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2o Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Frazier brings in his own staff and Gailey likely isn't one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C.Biscuit97 Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 What about the years everywhere else, minus the Cowboys? You realize that the majority of players on GT were Gailey's players right??? And it's funny he brought up Stamford yet doesn't mention the NCAA Championship won at Troy. He also fails to mention the back to back division champs Dolphins where Gailey was the Oc that had a 22-10 record and then went 23-25 after he left. I guess positve Gailey stuff didn't fit his argument. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You guys can try to talk this up all you want, but this is a pathetic display of our "Inner Circle's" decision making once again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KD in CA Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Not just a terrible use of stats, but why the need to flat out lie on top of it? In every case, the team Gailey coached was better before he got there and better after he left (you could argue the Cowboys are better now than when he left -- as there was the Campo mess in between). Huh?? As your own stats point out, the Cowboys were NOT better after he left, they were WORSE. After he left, they had three consecutive seasons of 5-11! You attempt to make a big stat-based point and then tell us to ignore the stats that prove the opposite? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus he'll be one of the lowest paid head coaches in the league ( Ralph & Ru$$ will love that). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
